Good morning, sports fans. What started five months ago will end Monday, and I don’t really know if I even care.

Now don’t get me wrong – I will watch the Final Four games, but only because I have a few friendly wagers on it, but I didn’t bet any money because that would be illegal.

But the real question is, do I even care about who wins or loses?

The Final Four teams really have no emotional attachment to me. I don’t know enough about Oklahoma to like or dislike them.

The only thing I do know is that they lit Eastern up this past season. Their opponent, Indiana, is from the Big Ten, but that isn’t enough to make me root for the Big Red.

The other side of the bracket will at least be entertaining. No.1 Maryland will take on No.1 Kansas, for what should be the national championship.

No disrespect to Mike Davis or Kelvin Sampson, but the Williams, Roy and Gary, are in the cream of the crop when it comes to college coaches.

I think that Oklahoma and Kansas will meet in the national championship game on Monday night, with Rock Chalk Jayhawk taking the title and justifying my bracket.

But the thing is I don’t know if I can bring myself to watch the game on Monday night, with that being the first full day of games in the 2002 season for Major League Baseball.

This day is basically viewed as a holiday for me, so for my professors and those of you at work, I’ll see you on Tuesday.

What’s nice about opening day down here in Charleston is that we can possibly see up to eight games on opening day- with the Cardinals, Cubs, White Sox and Royals from Fox Sports Midwest, the Braves on the Superstation, and all three ESPN games.

With all of these options to choose to from, it will be a miracle if I even get up out of the chair to eat something, let alone have enough strength to go to class.

So I guess my choice has come down to one commercial-filled basketball

game, or eight games of this land’s greatest game. I choose the pastime over the two-hour advertisement.

But you know what’s sad? I will probably end up watching the basketball game anyway. Stupid sports!
